Vietnam Prevention Program



Above is a picture of one of our new programs in Vietnam. All of these children are tribal and living in extreme poverty. Our staff noticed that many children in this province were left home alone all day while their parents worked. We have learned from experience that these children become easy targets to be trafficked or violated when left unattended at such a young age. So for a few hundred dollars a month we have been able to feed these preschoolers two hot meals a day, provide schooling, and a safe haven for them to nap in the afternoons until their parents pick them up after work. It has been a blessing to the parents to know their kids are happy and well cared for during the day.
